Hůrka is a climb of 6.3 kilometers (category 3). Hůrka tops out at 515 m above sea level. It is located in Raduň, Moravskoslezsko, Česko. The average gradient is 3.7% with a maximum of 9.4%. The climb has 230 meters of elevation gain.
Difficulty breakdown: This Category 3 climb is moderate in difficulty but tactical. The 3.7% average gradient is deceptive: the profile is very uneven, with a tough first kilometer (7% gradient), a near-flat central section and even a short descent, before a steeper finish (6% gradients over the final kilometers). The challenge lies in managing these changes of pace.
How to manage your effort:
1. Start controlled: Resist the urge to go too hard on the steep first 500 meters. The climb is long and the finale is steep.
2. Active recovery: Make the most of the flat and downhill section between KM 2.0 and 4.0 to ease off slightly and recover your legs without slowing down too abruptly.
3. Save something in the tank: Prepare for the gradient increase from KM 5.0 (6%) so you hit the final ramp with enough power left.
